The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 1.7% Monday -- its fourth straight session of steep losses - as the tech selloff continued to punish big names like Google and Apple.

The Nasdaq Composite, which lost 6.5% last week, shed 43.81 points, to close Monday at 2584.13. The tech-laden index has fallen more than 1.5% in each of the past four trading days, as major tech stocks fell sharply.
